"......by the middle of the 18th century, the Direktorat of Herrschaden had continued unabated....technology, reason, science and business had flourished for over 5 decades...the so-called 'crowned-heads' had noted the incredible advancements in Herrschaden food production, animal husbandry, industry, commerce and in particular, military capability..."

"......there was no question as to how the original Direktorenschelle had continued in control of the nation...it did not seem to matter, as the regime was obviously benign and non-expansionist. The Direktorats 'War of Reason' against 'Superstition' had never been relinquished. The fact that the Direktors refused to acknowledge any politics or religion, had resulted in huge and unexplained losses of men and material from various forces arrayed against it, evil, pus-soaked, pox-riddled forces..."

"......incredulous observers to many military engagements involving Herrschaden forces, were reduced to a near-catatonic state, by witnessing Herrschaden innovations, innitative and sheer brutal audacity - as one observer wrote: 'the unterdirektor of this regiment simply said: "it's all business".....' (the reporter who had written this comment, later suicided, reason/s unknown)....."

".....by the time of the rise of Fredericks Prussia, Herrschaden inventions and capability had so impressed the new King, he had sent a personal invitation to Lietung-Direktor OttoSchwarz von Blitzenkruz, to attend an engagement in Silesia, against the arrayed Russo-Austrian (or is that Austro-Russian?) forces, threatening Prussia.....naturally, the invitation was replied to by a junior member of the Direktorenschelle, with the comment "we will see what we feel like on the day, we cordially request you dont bother us anymore with your petty war, however, we do hope you enjoy it immensly - as will we"..........."

"as the annals show, some Herrschaden units were dispatched, because, "they had nothing better to do at the time...."

"Dragoon Regiment Oebel, will formally be known as Light Dragoon Regiment Oebel. Members will transfer to Oesterschaden and be retrained in similar manner to the Oesterschaden Light Horse Regiment. Members of the regiment, not direkted to retrain in the mounted role, will further their role as foot jaegars, effective immediately".

"In accordance with Direktive Nr. 12,467, Lietung-Direktor Otto Schwarz Von Blitzenkruz announces orders that the 'Jowetski Brigade', will cease operations in the current Ordo-War, being waged in Lifonlia.
Furthermore, the following orders are issued":

(a) Direktor aus Frontlinieverteidigung Hans Wagemueller is to return to Blitzenkruz for immediate post-operation interview.....
(b) All Herrschadeners from this Brigade, are to return to their original, parent regiments.
(c) With the exception of Monte-Cristons, all foreign nationals on service with this Brigade will volunteer for service in the Liebregt. Any wishing to re-direkt themselves in any other manner, are immediately sentenced to 20 years service in the Liebregt, or may be relocated in another manner...Monte-Cristons are granted an official 3-day Herrschaden-Visa and may then re-direkt themselves in any manner as prescribed in agreements between Der Direktorat and Monte-Cristo...
(d) The Jowetski Brigade colour is to be retired and placed in the 'Hall of the Lost', at Blitzenkruz.

"Additionally, Herrschaden removes all humanitarian aid and hopes the people of Lifonlia continue to enjoy their war.....travel between Herrschaden and Lifonlia is now proscribed".
